We investigated whether acute systemic exercise increases vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), VEGF receptor (KDR and Flt-1) mRNA, and VEGF protein in sedentary humans. Twelve sedentary subjects were recruited and performed 1 h of acute, cycle ergometer exercise at 50% of maximal oxygen consumption. Muscle biopsies were obtained from the vastus lateralis before exercise and at 0, 2, and 4 h postexercise. Acute exercise significantly increased VEGF mRNA at 2 and 4 h and increased KDR and Flt-1 mRNA at 4 h postexercise. The sustained increase in VEGF mRNA through 4 h and the increases in KDR and Flt-1 at 4 h are different from their respective time course responses in rats. In contrast to the increase in VEGF mRNA postexercise, VEGF protein levels were decreased at 0 h postexercise. These results provide evidence in humans that 1) VEGF, KDR, and Flt-1 mRNA are increased by acute systemic exercise; 2) the time course of the VEGF, KDR, and Flt-1 mRNA responses are different from those previously reported in rats (Gavin TP and Wagner PD. Acta Physiol Scand 175: 201-209, 2002); and 3) VEGF protein is decreased immediately after exercise. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to discern cellular mechanisms that contribute to the suppression of lipid oxidation in the skeletal muscle of obese individuals. Muscle was obtained from obese [body mass index (BMI), 38.3 +/- 3.1 kg/m(2)] and lean (BMI, 23.8 +/- 0.9 kg/m(2)) women, and fatty acid oxidation was studied by measuring (14)CO(2) production from (14)C-labeled fatty acids. Palmitate oxidation, which is at least partially dependent on carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1 (CPT-1) activity, was depressed (P < 0.05) by approximately 50% with obesity (6.8 +/- 2.2 vs. 13.7 +/- 1.4 nmole CO(2).g(-1).h(-1)). The CPT-1-independent event of palmitoyl carnitine oxidation was also depressed (P < 0.01) by approximately 45%. There were significant negative relationships (P < 0.05) for adiposity with palmitate (r = -0.76) and palmitoyl carnitine (r = -0.82) oxidation. Muscle CPT-1 and citrate synthase activity, an index of mitochondrial content, were also significantly (P < 0.05) reduced ( approximately 35%) with obesity. CPT-1 (r = -0.48) and citrate synthase (r = -0.65) activities were significantly (P < 0.05) related to adiposity. These data suggest that lesions at CPT-1 and post-CPT-1 events, such as mitochondrial content, contribute to the reduced reliance on fat oxidation evident in human skeletal muscle with obesity. 相似文献

Hickner, R. C., J. S. Fisher, P. A. Hansen, S. B. Racette,C. M. Mier, M. J. Turner, and J. O. Holloszy. Muscle glycogen accumulation after endurance exercise in trained and untrained individuals. J. Appl. Physiol. 83(3):897-903, 1997.Muscle glycogen accumulation was determined in sixtrained cyclists (Trn) and six untrained subjects (UT) at 6 and either48 or 72 h after 2 h of cycling exercise at ~75% peakO2 uptake(O2 peak), which terminated with five 1-min sprints. Subjects ate 10 gcarbohydrate · kg1 · day1for 48-72 h postexercise. Muscle glycogen accumulation averaged 71 ± 9 (SE) mmol/kg (Trn) and 31 ± 9 mmol/kg (UT) during the first 6 h postexercise (P < 0.01) and 79 ± 22 mmol/kg (Trn) and 60 ± 9 mmol/kg (UT) between 6 and 48 or 72 h postexercise (not significant). Muscle glycogenconcentration was 164 ± 21 mmol/kg (Trn) and 99 ± 16 mmol/kg(UT) 48-72 h postexercise (P < 0.05). Muscle GLUT-4 content immediately postexercise was threefoldhigher in Trn than in UT (P < 0.05)and correlated with glycogen accumulation rates (r = 0.66, P < 0.05). Glycogen synthase in theactive I form was 2.5 ± 0.5, 3.3 ± 0.5, and 1.0 ± 0.3 µmol · g1 · min1in Trn at 0, 6, and 48 or 72 h postexercise, respectively;corresponding values were 1.2 ± 0.3, 2.7 ± 0.5, and 1.6 ± 0.3 µmol · g1 · min1in UT (P < 0.05 at 0 h). Plasmainsulin and plasma C-peptide area under the curve were lower in Trnthan in UT over the first 6 h postexercise(P < 0.05). Plasma creatine kinaseconcentrations were 125 ± 25 IU/l (Trn) and 91 ± 9 IU/l (UT)preexercise and 112 ± 14 IU/l (Trn) and 144 ± 22 IU/l(UT; P < 0.05 vs.preexercise) at 48-72 h postexercise (normal: 30-200 IU/l).We conclude that endurance exercise training results in an increasedability to accumulate muscle glycogen after exercise. 相似文献

The estimation of the amount of evolutionary divergence that has taken
place between two DNA coding sequences depends strongly on the degree of
constraint on amino acid replacements. If amino acid replacements are
relatively unconstrained, the individual nucleotide is the appropriate unit
of analysis and the method of Tajima and Nei can be used. If amino acid
replacements are constrained, however, this method is shown to be
inapplicable. For sequences with strong amino acid constraints, a method is
outlined analogous to the Tajima and Nei method using codons as the unit of
analysis. Only synonymous substitutions are used. Codon usage data can be
employed to estimate the necessary parameters of the calculation, or a
priori models of substitution may be employed. Sequences with significant
but intermediate constraints on amino acid replacements are, in principle,
unanalyzable.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of blocking nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity via NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) on myonuclear addition in skeletal muscle under basal and overloaded conditions. Female Sprague-Dawley rats (approx. 220 g) were placed into 1 of the following 4 groups (n = 7-9/group): 7-day skeletal muscle overload (O), sham operation (S), skeletal muscle overload with L-NAME treatment (OLN), and sham operation with L-NAME treatment (SLN). Plantaris muscles were overloaded via bilateral surgical ablation of the gastrocnemius muscles and L-NAME (0.75 mg/mL) was administered in the animals' daily drinking water starting 2 days prior to surgery and continued until sacrifice. Myonuclear addition was assessed as subsarcolemmal incorporation of nuclei labeled with 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (approx. 25 mg.(kg body mass)-1.day-1) delivered via osmotic pump during the overload period. As expected, muscle wet mass, total protein content, fiber cross-sectional area, and myonuclear addition were significantly higher (p 相似文献

The effect of six phosphorus levels (0, 40, 80, 120, 160 and 200 kg/ha) on the duration of cumulative leaf area, biomass and agronomic yield was determined in the maize cultivars: Amarillo Almoloya, Cacahuacintle and Condor in 2010 and 2011. Such cultivars were sown in the Cerrillo Piedras Blancas Mexico. A completely randomized complete block design with factorial arrangement was utilized. High phosphorus levels (120, 160 and 200 kg/ha) positively affected the duration of cumulative leaf area; greatest values were obtained in Cacahuacintle. A greater duration of accumulated leaf area contributes to determine high values of biomass accumulation and grain yield in this cultivar. Leaf area duration appeared to be a useful tool for evaluating different genotypes in a given environment. 相似文献

Colonization by the zebra mussel, Dreissena polymorpha, was quantified for five dragonfly species that differed in size and larval habits in a Michigan lake. Both larger size and
a non-burrowing habit independently increased susceptibility to colonization. In 2005, over 50% of the final instars of the
sprawlers Didymops transversa and Hagenius brevistylus were colonized, as well as younger instars. Rarely colonized were Progomphus obscurus and Dromogomphus spinosus, whose larvae burrow under sand, and the sprawler Epitheca princeps, whose final instars were lightly covered with sand. Hagenius larvae that had been preyed upon carried more mussels than those dying of other causes. More generally, mussel attachment
decreased the probability that sprawlers left the water to emerge, the distance that some species traveled before emerging,
and the ability of an overturned sprawler to right itself. On average, final instars of Didymops and Hagenius remaining in the water carried three times as many mussels as individuals known to emerge. Compared to uncolonized individuals,
Epitheca and Progomphus with mussels emerged closer to the water line. Among colonized Didymops, the distance traveled on land before emerging decreased with increasing mussel load. Of the colonized Didymops that could right themselves, righting time increased with mussel load. Because the two common species of sprawlers were disproportionately
colonized, and mussel attachment decreased their chances of emerging, our results suggest that D. polymorpha has the potential to affect the community structure of this guild of aquatic and terrestrial predators.

Norepinephrine response to exercise at the same relative intensity before and after endurance exercise training 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

It is welldocumented that endurance exercise training results in a bluntednorepinephrine (NE) response to exercise of a given absolute exerciseintensity. However, it is not clear what effect traininghas on the catecholamine response to exercise of the same relativeintensity because previous studies have provided conflicting results.The purpose of the present study was, therefore, to determine thecatecholamine response to exercise of the same relative exerciseintensity before and after endurance exercise training. Six women andthree men [age 28 ± 8 (SD) yr] performed 10 wk oftraining. Maximal O2 uptake(O2 max) wasdetermined during treadmill exercise. Fifteen-minute treadmill exercisebouts were performed at 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, and 85% ofO2 max before andafter training.O2 max was increasedby 20% (from 39.2 ± 7.7 to 46.9 ± 8.1 ml · kg1 · min1;P < 0.05) in response to training.Plasma NE concentrations were higher(P < 0.05) during exercise at thesame relative intensity after, compared with before, training at65-85% ofO2 max.Differences between heart rates and plasma epinephrine concentrationsafter, compared with before, training were not statisticallysignificant. These results provide evidence that the NE response toexercise is dependent on the absolute as well as the relative intensity of the exercise. 相似文献

Mitogenic activity of pituitary hormones on cell cultures of normal and carcinogen-induced tumor epithelium from rat mammary glands 总被引:3,自引:2,他引:3 下载免费PDF全文
Cell suspension containing normal or tumor epithelium were readily obtained by enzymatically digesting rat mammary glands from perphenazine-treated (prolactin-hypersecreting) cycling, female virgin animals or hormone- responsive mammary tumors from animal treated with dimethylbenzanthracene. Cell suspensions were fractioned into predominantly epithelial and predominantly stromal cells by their differential rates of attachment to culture dishes. Both normal mammary and tumor epithelial cells were characterized by the presence of specific cell-junctional complexes, desmosome-like structures, surface microvilli, and their ability to synthesize casein. Serum-dependent protease activity was greater in cultures derived from tumors, and cells from such cultures grew in agarose whereas those from the non-neoplastic gland did not. The addition of prolactin to the culture medium stimulated DNA synthesis in primary or secondary epithelial cultures from tumors, whereas additional insulin and hydrocortisone with prolactin were required for similar levels of DNA synthesis in cultures from non-neoplastic glands. The fraction of cells synthesizing DNA was, however, smaller than that with 10 percent serum measured in the same time period. Both growth hormone and epidermal growth factor stimulated DNA synthesis but to a lesser extent than did prolactin. Prolactin with hydrocortisone and insulin were relatively inactive in promoting DNA synthesis of the nonepithelial cells whereas pituitary fibroblast growth factor was more active. These mitogenic effects were obtained when the hormones were added to the medium at near physiological concentrations, and paralleled the known activities of the hormones in control of mammary gland growth and development in the rat. 相似文献
